I have taken it from the lion's mouth, QR are currently running meetings to lay down the way they will go about this SOs in terms of the selection process, A) Aptitude tests or B) Technical Questions or C) group exercises. OR all these, I believe that should a simualtor trip be required it will be carried out on a Frasca 242 at a near by flying school. Just to assess the applicant handling skills and his IR skills. I have not heard anything yet but soon we shall all hear something, they are only looking for 12 people which makes sense since the SIM at France will require 2 crew.This is a trial period and if it works and all those lucky people succeed I presume that QR will continue with this deal for some time then stop it 'cos they are required by LAW to hire local i.e nationals of Qatar, a certain percentage of any establishment in the State of Qatar and so is the case in many Gulf states, I do not know however that percentage I think arond 50% correct me if I am wrong.
Keep your fingers crossed and pray to the Almight Lord.
Good luck to everyone.
